Beautiful Industry- Dory Plug
These plugs went into the bottom of the dories that Grand Banks Dory Fishermen used back in the old days. They were used to drain water from the dories once they were brought back aboard the schooners. But they also served another purpose. Geno tells me that the loop that comes off the bottom was used in case the dory flipped over in the ocean. Capsized, there would be nothing for the dory fisherman to hold on to once the dory was upside down. So that loop which would be through the bottom of the boat would be used for the capsized fisherman to pull himself onto the upside down boat in the water.

Earl & Arch – Take The Wheel
words and music ©2009 earl&arch
Another installment from Earl & Arch. This is a beautiful song that will tug on anyones emotions. Take the Wheel also will have a special meaning to all of us who have lost our father’s both at sea and on land.
Look for Earl & Arch to be performing in Gloucester during the Fiesta live at various places playing all these wonderful songs. Exit 11 will be performing with them. I will keep you posted on the details.
Songs should be on line for sale in a few weeks.
gloucester till the end!

David Harrison Dentistry Sign Built By Bob Viau
There are creative minds. There are talented hands. You put them together and you get Bob Viau. Bob created this incredible sign for David Harrison dentistry. The picture doesn’t do it justice. In person the oyster shell and tooth are three dimensional and litterally pop off the sign board. It’s amazing some of the stuff Bob has created at Studio VO on East Main St. To see more of Bob’s work and videos click this text.
